Description
view of the Sweetwater Strand in the Big Cypress National Preserve. A strand is a natural channel to drain the water from the surrounding higher flat land. Sweetwater Strand is of Loop Road half way between Miami and Naples on the Gulf of Mexico.
Big Cypress is adjacent to the Florida Everglades National Park and was originally to be included in the Everglades NP. Due to the Indian reservations, existing hunting licenses, and some powerful families with oil interest on the property, this never happened. As a result, they did the next best thing and made it into a National preserve. This was a whole new concept and something not in existence before the Big Cypress dilemma. The preserve is administered and controlled by the National Park Service.
